The 8th cross-country league event is scheduled to take place on Saturday the 11th of August 2012 at Lahee Park in Pinetown, and will be hosted by PDAC.

All athletes (registered & casual runners) are welcome to come and participate in the event. Cross-country is a sport that can be enjoyed by everyone in the family as the program caters for all age groups, whether your 8 or 80 years old! You do not have to belong to a club to take part, but you will be required to purchase a temporary license. The first race is scheduled to start at 11H50 with the 1km for the 8 years' & younger age group.

Entry fees are R10 for 13 year-olds and older. The under 12 athletes' entry fees are R5. There will be temporary licenses for sale at R10 a piece if you are not registered with a club.
